sama: While you have our attention, you might as well explain the details about the $120k/7% happening in two chunks.

[Edit 1:] Thanks; OK. I had read it as potentially indicating the money came at two different times rather than just from two different sources. All clear now.




not much to explain--the reason for this is so that YC itself still has no LPs, and can do new things like fund non-profits without being restricted by an LPA. mechanically, the company gets two separate checks form two separate legal entities--one for 20k and one for 100k--but they work with YC for both of them.


Is the 7% equity split pro rata between those two entities?
